lol: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2569128/Swedish-wrestler-Ara-Abrahamian-disqualified-after-throwing-away-his-medal.html

Swedish wrestler threw away his bronze medal in disgust at only coming third. The IOC stepped in, and DQd him, giving the medal to the 4th ranked contender.
nah, they didn't reaward the medal to anybody.

"However, the IOC was clearly less than impressed by his theatrics and disqualified him though it decided against awarding the medal to France's Francais Melonin Noumonvi who had lost to the Swede in the bronze medal match. "

Yeah, that is incredible. He prob didn't want to go all out: then he wouldn't have any more records to break :p seriously, he could prob go .60. I just don't see how anyone else in history will be able to beat him...unless they also use performance-enhacing drugs.

He's running the 200m right?

Yeah he's in the 200 as well. We could be saying goodbye to another WR.

Hackett could barely breathe and the tunisian guy was fine and looked like he could race again.
